<p>Standard Ebooks is a brand-new project&mdash;this manual is a pre-alpha, and much of it is incomplete. If you have a question, need clarification, or run in to an issue not yet covered here, please <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/standardebooks">contact us</a> so we can update this manual.</p>

<h2>The Standard Ebooks Style Philosophy</h2>
<p>Standard Ebooks’ goal is to bring classic public domain literature into the digital era by making it accessible, attractive, and by maintaining a high standard of quality. To that end we’re not interested in slavishly reproducing the formatting quirks, transcription errors, publisher’s ephemera, or other inconsequential style decisions of the past. While we strive to be good custodians of the literature entrusted to the public, we recognize that the freedom of the public domain intersects with the Internet era in a way that allows us to present that literature in an attractive, modern, and and high-quality way.</p>

<h2>Your task</h2>
<p>As an editor, proofreader, or producer of a Standard Ebook, part of your task is to take the source transcription of your ebook and apply this typography manual to it. This manual outlines various standardizations and modernizations to old typography practices, making older texts easier to read for modern readers.</p>
<p>Many of the rules below have been accepted standards for a hundred years or more. That means that many of the ebooks you produce may not need that much adjustment. The <code class="program">typogrify</code> tool in the <a href="https://github.com/standardebooks/tools">Standard Ebooks toolset</a> also automatically takes care of some (but not all!) of these rules. Typically, the older the source, the more of these rules you’ll have to check during production.</p>
